A day at the hair salon, chicken drumstick and a new laptop

Due to Renee's allergy, I was supposed to prepare food for Renee to eat in school whenever the menu pops something that contains egg. However, though it's yellow noodles today, daddy said to just let her have a try, so I didn't cook her meal. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Mrs Jacob that though no extra helpings requested, she finished her bowl of noodles! There were no rashes found on her when I went to pick her up but I guess we still shouldn't take it for granted since it was only one small bowl...

Today's the first time I tried having Renee stayed with me at the hair salon whilst I have my haircut. I've pre-warned her of what's gonna 'happen' and that she has to stay fuss-less lolz. She was given 2 books to read whilst seated in her stroller and about half an hour later, she fell asleep... *phew*

With her napping away, I decided to proceed with my plan of having a few 'top bundle strands' of my hair highlighted but the stylist did more - perhaps she had thought of giving me some perks but it turned out that I'm one customer who didn't want more!(as what she commented later lolz)
So, for an easy job of having a just abit hair coloured, I have to sit through from 3:35pm to 6:20pm! 'Cos she had to 'cover up the extra strands' that I didn't want...
I was also in for a little shock when I was billed S$55.65(after my pkg 20% discount) for the tiny bit of highlighting and '1 visit' was also deducted from my pkg for my cut :(
I'm wondering if she couldn't give me a lower fee for the highlighting due to the extra work they have to do? But then again, it was their fault and not mine rite? haiz... Anyway, since she's trimmed Renee's fringe so nicely(it was alot alot nicer than what the stylist at Junior League had done for her!), forget it lah lolz.

So now, with my new haircut, Renee said there're 2 'Dora's in our home, hahaha. Yes, my hair's cut short again, though mine's of a longer fringe lah - I just can't seem to be able to keep long hair since the time I had my hair chopped really short after Renee's birth. The stylist tried many times, with the last being a mth ago when I went for a 'straight comb' hairdo, to keep my hair longer but I just couldn't...especially when the weather's getting hotter now :(
For dinner, Renee asked for chicken drumstick! hahaha.... though this is a nice change for the non eating of most outside food but not very much desired either, for a little girl who gets heaty easily... *dilemma*

Saw daddy carrying a box on our way home, then I realised that he's finally bought his laptop :)
